Adachi was a lusciously beautiful woman who used to wear a scandalously stylized ceremonial armor. [1] She was nicknamed the White Mask during her time at Ryoko Owari Toshi, named so both for the white face paint she favored over a Scorpion's traditional mask and for her apparent unwillingness to indulge in the corruption and vice that consumed the city. [2]

Adachi was connected in ways no one could quite explain with the deaths of several people who had made themselves inconvenient to the Scorpion Clan. [1] She destroyed two different illegal smuggling cartels, and when the local crime syndicates attempted to remove her, on each of the three occasions they had failed, and the assassins publicly executed by Adachi herself. [2]

During her time in the City of Lies, Adachi had seen both the best and the worst parts of human nature, from the honorable Unicorn struggling to defeat the criminals within the city, to the criminals themselves, desperate and evil men willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their goals. Adachi well understood the line between good and evil, honor and dishonor, and she had learned that one must strike a balance between those polar opposites in order to exist in harmony with the world.
